Pathway to Pointe Workshop

from $10.00

PATHWAY TO POINTE: In-person workshop 🩰✨

For dancers, parents + teachers

Pointe work is magical — but it can also feel confusing, overwhelming, and honestly… a little scary.

That’s exactly why I created Pathway to Pointe.

With 12 years of pointe experience, I’ve gathered the key things I wish all dancers and teachers understood before that first pair.

This isn’t just information — it’s confidence, clarity, and peace of mind during one of the most exciting milestones in dance.

You’ll walk away feeling confident, supported, and fully prepared, with a clear understanding of what truly matters at this stage.

We’ll cover:

  • how to know when a dancer is truly ready,

  • what a proper pointe shoe fitting should really look like,

  • the foundations that make early pointe work safe and successful,

  • bust pointe myths,

  • and so much more!

This session is designed to give dancers, parents, and teachers the clarity and peace of mind they deserve as they step into this next chapter.

This workshop combines real-world knowledge with training I’ve completed through the Perfect Pointe System to give dancers, teachers, and parents clarity and confidence.
